Background to the Joint Programme 6.1 Northwestern Tanzania (NWT) has historically hosted refugees from Burundi, Rwanda and the DRC fleeing from internal conflicts in their countries from as early as 1972. Their number peaked during the mid-1990s when there were over 500,000 refugees in 13 camps spread across the two regions of Kigoma and Kagera. The large-scale humanitarian operation, established in response to the massive refugee influxes, has had an impact on the social and economic development of the area. As the withdrawal of humanitarian support would have considerable repercussions and consequences on the local economy of the districts that hosted the refugee camps, a joint UN programme which aimed at supporting the Regional and Local Government Authorities to address the transition from the humanitarian aid environment to sustainable development was developed during 2007-2008. It had been planned to start in July 2008, but actual implementation only started in January 2009. The Joint Programme 6.1 was implemented in the five districts of Kigoma, Kasulu, Kibondo (in Kigoma Region), Ngara and Karagwe (in Kagera Region). In addition to district- specific activities, the programme also provided capacity development support at the district and regional levels in both Kigoma and Kagera Regions. The three-year programme ended on 30 June 2011. The JP 6.1 was organised around three thematic clusters which were aligned to the Government of Tanzania (GoT)’s development goals as defined in its National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (MKUKUTA, the KiSwahili acronym). The strategy identifies three major clusters, viz (i) growth and reduction of income poverty; (ii) improvement in the quality of life and social well-being, and (iii) good governance. An internal division of labour provided for selected Participating UN agencies (PUNs) to coordinate activities within these clusters in line with their areas of technical expertise. The selected cluster lead agency was responsible for consolidating cluster work plans, progress reports, and requests for funds, in collaboration with other PUNs and Implementing Partners (IPs) in the cluster that it was coordinating. As the three-year programme was coming to an end, UNDP, as the Managing Agent, contracted two independent external consultants to conduct an end-of-programme evaluation of the JP 6.1. 2. Purpose of the Evaluation The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the achievements (outputs and outcomes) of the Joint Programme 6.1 in Northwestern Tanzania since its commencement. More specifically, the evaluation aimed to: (i) assess the appropriateness, relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the JP 6.1 outputs and achievements; and (ii) identify lessons learned and draw conclusions which could inform other interventions and which could contribute to decision making processes of the UN, Government of Tanzania (GoT) and other development partners. v 3. Evaluation Methodology The evaluation was conducted during the months of May and June 2011. A multi- pronged approach was used for information gathering, including Reviewing key programme documents; Development of data collection tools (evaluation matrix, interview guides and focus group discussion guides); Conducting interviews with key informants in the PUNs and the participating LGAs and MDAs, both in Dar es Salaam and in the two regions of Kigoma and Kigera; Conducting focus group discussions with community leaders and beneficiaries in the five districts; and Field visits to some of the activity sites in all five districts. 4. Key Outputs of the Joint Programme 6.1 Despite problems and delays experienced at the beginning, the programme has produced remarkable outputs that are already benefiting the communities and local authorities in the two regions. The major outputs of the programme are summarised in the following paragraphs. Outputs for Enhancing the Quality of Education: Construction of new buildings and rehabilitation of existing structures at the former refugee camps and their conversion into five new secondary schools, together with support facilities such as water, solar power, latrines, dormitories, dining rooms, kitchens and staff houses. The schools have also been provided with libraries, laboratories and science kits. Three of the schools were already operational at the time of the evaluation while the other two were expected to enrol students in time for the 2011-2012 school year.

  • Appeals 11 2016 -Scale-Up-Support-To-Burundian-Refugees-In-Tanzania
    Appeal Tanzania Scale Up Emergency Response to Burundian refugee crisis in Tanzania – TZA161 Appeal Target: US$ 2,998,470 Balance Requested: US$ 2,998,470 Nairobi, November 16 2016 Dear Colleagues, Now more than a year since Burundi’s current crisis began, more than 160,000 men, women and children remain in refugee camps in Tanzania and are unable to return home. The situation inside Burundi continues to worsen. A low intensity urban conflict is spreading progressively from Bujumbura to other provinces, resulting in targeted assassinations, torture, harassments and abuses.1 Coupled with an economic collapse brought on by the conflict, this makes it virtually impossible for displaced Burundians to return home safely. Hundreds of refugees from Burundi are still entering in Tanzania every day while 140,448 Burundian refugees are currently living in Nyarugusu, Nduta and Mtendeli camps in Kigoma region. As many informants from UNHCR, INGOs and refugee leaders suggest, a quick solution to the current political crisis in Burundi and the short-term repatriation of refugees are unlikely. The current refugee situation is developing into a protracted crisis that will plausibly last for several years. The likely scenario of an extended presence in Tanzania is changing and increasing the needs of the refugees. Basic requirements need to be provided ensuring a comprehensive long term self-reliance strategy. Given the likelihood that the refugee crisis is becoming protracted, this must be done in ways that also promote social cohesion among refugees and their Tanzanian neighbours, as well as recently arrived Burundians and long-staying refugees who had fled other regional conflicts.

  • Burundian Refugees in Western Tanzania, It Can Be Expected That Such Activities Would Take Place
    BURUNDIAN REFUGEES IN TANZANIA: The Key Factor to the Burundi Peace Process ICG Central Africa Report N° 12 30 November 1999 PROLOGUE The following report was originally issued by the International Crisis Group (ICG) as an internal paper and distributed on a restricted basis in February 1999. It incorporates the results of field research conducted by an ICG analyst in and around the refugee camps of western Tanzania during the last three months of 1998. While the situation in Central Africa has evolved since the report was first issued, we believe that the main thrust of the analysis presented remains as valid today as ever. Indeed, recent events, including the killing of UN workers in Burundi and the deteriorating security situation there, only underscore the need for greater attention to be devoted to addressing the region’s unsolved refugee problem. With this in mind, we have decided to reissue the report and give it a wider circulation, in the hope that the information and arguments that follow will help raise awareness of this important problem and stimulate debate on the best way forward.

  • Socio-Economic Assessment in the Refugees Camps and Hosting Districts of Kigoma Region

In line with a growing body of research on the economic lives of refugees (including in Western Tanzania), it describes the many attempts of the refugees to develop economic activities. It finds that, despite a challenging legal environment, their contribution to the economy of the region is positive. The refugees hosted are mostly Burundians who left their country from 2015. A majority seems to be “repeat” refugees who have already lived in Tanzania as refugees in the 1990s. Some were even displaced to Tanzania during the 1972 Hutu genocide in Burundi. Nyarugusu camp also hosts a strong Congolese contingent (84,418 refugees and asylum seekers as per UNHCR Tanzania Refugee Situation Statistical Report 28.02.2018). The camps are located in the poorest region of Tanzania, in three districts that struggle to attract investment in industry or other job-producing sectors and where international aid is a welcomed source of cash. The Kigoma region has a long history of hosting refugees from Burundi and Congo.

  • Revenue Studies for 8 Lgas in Kigoma
    REVENUE STUDIES FOR EIGHT LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES IN KIGOMA REGION LOCAL INVESTMENT CLIMATE (LIC) APRIL 10, 2017 Dr.Victor George Dr. Alex Kira Dr. Elia John Mr. Sunga Mabeja, Mr. Salum Ntomola, Miss Claudia Maswe Miss Jesca Kitogoro and Mr. Daudi Mwasantaja i Executive Summary This study was conducted in order to draw detailed evidence to eight Kigoma Local Government Authorities (LGAs) namely; Kigoma Municipal Council, Kigoma District Council, Uvinza District Council, Kasulu District Council, Kasulu Town Council, Buhigwe District Council, Kibondo District Council, and Kakonko District Council on the best ways of increasing revenues without creating misunderstanding with private sector. Furthermore, the study assessed existing and potential sources of revenue for these LGAs. The study employed multiple methods of data collections ranging from document reviews to Key Informant Interviews. The following were the key study findings: • The structure of collection at LGAs own sources are dominated by two channels; the LGA itself and commissioned agencies. On the first channel, the LGA uses its own staff under the Municipal Director/District Executive Director (DED) with the support of Head of Departments1 and LGA staff members. On the second channel, the LGA tend to source and commission some of the revenue channels to agencies. • Revenue Collection Trend: It was observed that collections have been rising with time across the region. However, the trend varies and is inconsistency between LGAs. The study has found that there was an increasing trend on actual revenue collection for Kakonko, Kibondo and Uvinza District Councils, while there was a decreasing trend of revenue collection for Kasulu and Kigoma District Councils.
